Rugby alum rancherRugby offers high reliability in a utility flatbed design. The corrosion-resistant aluminum design eliminates paint expense and increases body value at trade-in. Aluminum weighs up to 50 percent less than traditional steel, increasing payload capacity, minimizing fuel consumption and improving truck life.

The aluminum Rancher Body features an 1/8-inch thick aluminum tread plate floor, 7-inch-long formed J-channel rails and 1/4-inch aluminum cross sills, 4 3/4 inches tall. The rear apron is also 1/8-inch-thick aluminum tread plate and includes cutouts for stop, tail and turn lights.

The Rancher body bulkhead features cutouts for a brake light and two cargo lamps. All lighting meets FMVSS-108 standards. The unit's rear step bumper offers protection, as well as access to the floor. A tapered bulkhead reduces wind resistance.
